Synopsis for "Monster at My Window!"
A science fiction writer sees glimpses of a monstrous creature that seems to be stalking him. After seeing the monster outside his window, goes to the bathroom for some medication when he hears the window break. When he returns to the room he beholds the monster is real and not a hallucination. He flees the creature, and the monster pursues him up to the building roof. The monster corners him and demands that he write stories of friendly aliens that look like him so that people will be influenced by his stories and unsuspecting when they launch an attack. The writer then reveals that he is in reality a monster from another dimension with designs upon Earth. The two creatures engage in a death struggle which the narrator offers the prayer will prove fatal for the both of them.

Synopsis for "The Joker!"
Amazing Adventures #5
(originally printed as The Escape of... Monsteroso!)
An alien child accidentally presses the escape pod button of his parent's spacecraft while in the vicinity of Earth and is thrown from the wreckage and rendered unconscious in an African jungle. An American circus owner hears of native reports of a crashed ship, goes to investigate, and discovers the creature whom he mistakenly assumes to be dead. He forgets about displaying the monstrous being in his circus and instead delivers him to a museum whereupon he regains consciousness. The startled creature wanders New York City for a while, until hounded by the military and their tear gas shells, climbs up the side of the UN building. They shoot him with a tranquillizer dart which makes him fall into the river. His parents eventually arrive and recover their child. They state "It is fortunate he is unharmed. Fortunate...FOR YOU." and leave Earth.
